True Faith HR

On the heels of attending HREvolution, I will be heading to Arlington, VA next week to attend the SHRM National Leadership Conference for the 10 th consecutive year. The attendees are ALL volunteers who dedicate their time, energy, and resources to make HR a better place in their community. For me, it will be an interest point of comparison. Army, and then escapes. Maybe, it is the meaning!

I got this e-mail this morning: Could u plz help me to writing my career development goals. That was all it said. copied and pasted so I didn't accidentally correct grammar or spelling. And yes, I'm guaranteed to make grammar mistakes since I'm picking on someone else right now. Tis Muphry's Law.) First of all, the answer is no. Although, if I was, the first thing I would do is say "u" and "plz" are not real words. So, your first goal should be to write out full words. And this is a good thing. Because you need to develop your own plan. It's always a huge advantage to know where you want to go.

Asking For Severance

Evil HR Lady

In January I will have been with the same company for 25 years. It is privately owned and has no HR department. About five years ago I spoke with the owner about where he thought the company was going and he assured me things were fine and to 'trust' him. know he personally is financially secure and I have no problem with that, but the $600 a year profit sharing isn't going to get me very far as a retirement fund. I was given a very good raise a few years ago and make a good salary now. But, with the company running on a skeleton crew it is stressful. Yes, I've seen this done. Just be direct.

Love Vigilantes

True Faith HR

About a month ago, I purchased an Amazon Kindle. As an avid reader, the possibility of a device that could hold many books, while not weighing down my backpack, seemed quite appealing. Yet, as I have been putting it to use, something felt odd. sense of disconnect developed. couldn’t put my finger on it….then then I realized that was the problem. With a book, a page is turned, and you sense how far you have progressed and how far you have to go. With a Kindle, however, there is a “progress” bar, but it lacks that tactile feeling of accomplishment. Static avatars became flesh, and animated.

Too Much Information?

Evil HR Lady

Is it bad to write about my difficulties finding a job in my blog,if I'm going to include the URL in Resume? This is an excellent question. think that if you are specifically going to include a blog URL on your resume you need to consider that blog part of your resume. For the record, my blog is on my resume at the moment, but I'm not actively looking for a new job. I may change my mind when I am looking for a new job. Of course, any recruiter would be remiss if they didn't google my name, and if you do so, I'm usually in the top 3 hits for "Suzanne Lucas." Most likely, so is yours.
